Chapter 53: Tea Ceremony
Xiao Ruoyun ordered someone to inform Gu Ruan Ruan, originally thinking that the two of them, as juniors, would go and wait in advance, but he arrived at the main hall by himself, waiting left and right, and waiting for Xiao Yanlin and Gu Baiyu who came hand in hand, but Gu Ruan Ruan was delayed.
Xiao Yanlin saw Xiao Ruoyun standing alone in the main hall, his eyes swept sharply, Xiao Ruoyun's heart sank, and he immediately stood up straight.
"Big Brother ......"
called Xiao Yanlin and looked at it again
turned to Gu Baiyu on the side, and after a few seconds, he slowly called out his sister-in-law.
How many complex emotions are contained in this "sister-in-law", perhaps only he knows......
Xiao Yanlin nodded at him: "No one has arrived yet?" ”
Xiao Ruoyun was a little embarrassed on his face, Gu Ruan Ruan was his person when he married, and now Gu Ruan Ruan did not follow the rules to serve tea to the housewife, which was his poor discipline of the people in the hospital.
Moreover, this was still reprimanded in front of Gu Baiyu, and he couldn't help but blame him in his heart.
And at this moment, the subordinates who were ordered to come to inform Gu Ruan Ruan Ruan were also in a hurry.
Gu Ruan Ruan was still slowly choosing the clothes she wanted to wear at the moment, and the little maid was so anxious that she was about to stomp her feet.
"Aunt Gu, Master Hou and Mrs. Hou should have arrived, you, hurry up!"
Gu Ruan Ruan turned her head and glanced at her coldly, the coldness in her eyes made the little girl tremble, and her voice was a little quieter.
But Gu Ruan Ruan was late, and when the second master asked, it was them who were punished!
The little maid gritted her teeth and urged again, "Please Aunt Gu don't embarrass us subordinates!" ”
Gu Ruan Ruan snorted coldly, now anyone dares to step on her head!
She was about to have a seizure, but the licorice on the side shook her head faintly, and Gu Ruan Ruan could only swallow the unwillingness in her heart.
"My sister and I have a deep relationship in the boudoir, how can my sister blame me for going late?"
That being said, but the action of choosing clothes was still accelerated.
In order to make himself more confident, Gu Ruan Ruan deliberately chose a very graceful and luxurious dress, asked Licorice to tidy up his appearance, and brought his favorite jewelry on his head before setting off from the side courtyard.
The three people in the main hall had been waiting for nearly a cup of tea, and Gu Ruan Ruan was late.
When Xiao Ruoyun saw her, she immediately whispered, "Don't come over quickly!" ”
Gu Ruan Ruan was sad in her heart, but she still pretended to be smiling on the surface, "What is Fu Junsheng doing so magnificently?" I just wanted to choose a nice dress, and if I was a little late, my sister shouldn't blame me. ”
At this time, Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin sat on the main seat together, and when she heard Gu Ruanruan's words, she just glanced at it lightly, and did not respond to her call sister.
"Since you and I have married into the Hou Mansion, we must follow the rules of the Hou Mansion. This sister, don't call it again in the future, it's better to change it to my wife like everyone else. ”
This is a sturdy dismount.
If Gu Ruan Ruan can continue to be commensurate with Gu Baiyu's sisters in this mansion, then the people in the mansion may look up to Gu Baiyu's face and look up to her by a point or two;
But if you want Gu Ruan Ruan to be the same as her subordinates and change her to his wife, the status of the two will immediately show a gap-
One is the hostess of the house who is being married by the Ming media, and the other is the concubine who serves people.
Gu Ruanruan's smile froze on his face, and he wanted to say something, but Xiao Ruoyun couldn't see it, his voice was a degree higher, and his tone was stern: "Nonsense!" How can you let your eldest brother and sister-in-law wait for you for so long! Come here yet! ”
At the same time, the little maid on the side had already prepared a tray for tea.
On the tea tray, there are two red tea cups containing hot tea.
Gu Ruan Ruan reluctantly took the tea, walked in front of Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin, bent down and handed the teacup forward.
"Master Hou, madam, drink tea."
Gu Baiyu just looked at her calmly.
Gu Ruan Ruan bent down and waited for a long time, but no one took the tea in her hand, and she couldn't help but raise her eyelids and look up.
I saw Gu Baiyu, who was sitting on the main hall, not wearing any gorgeous clothes, but revealing majesty in a low-key manner, with a simple golden hairpin, embellished with Dongzhu, but it was generous and good-looking.
She sat firmly on the throne, and she didn't even mean to reach out to take the tea.
Xiao Yanlin didn't say a word, only looked at Gu Ruan Ruan coldly.
Xiao Ruoyun couldn't stand it anymore, and took her hand and pulled it fiercely: "Why don't you kneel down to give tea to your eldest brother and sister-in-law!" ”
After speaking, regardless of Gu Ruanruan's resistance, he pressed hard and pressed Gu Ruan Ruan to kneel on the hard ground in front of Gu Baiyu.
Gu Ruan Ruan didn't stand firm for a while, she stumbled, the tea bowl in her hand fell, and it shattered to the ground, and the back of her hand immediately turned red after the hot tea!
"Ahh Gu Ruan Ruan wanted to stand up in pain, but Xiao Yanlin didn't even raise his eyelids, just glanced at the maid on the side.
The maid immediately knelt down again according to Gu Ruanruan, brought a bowl of tea again, and stuffed it into Gu Ruanruan's hand.
"Aunt Gu, let's make tea."
Gu Ruan Ruan wanted to struggle, but she couldn't move, tears rolled in her eyes, and the back of her hand hurt hotly.
When had she suffered such humiliation!
In the past, she and Gu Baiyu were on an equal footing, but overnight, Gu Baiyu had become a high-ranking housewife, and she had to kneel humbly before her!
The unwillingness and resentment in Gu Ruanruan's eyes, Gu Baiyu could see it clearly, and Xiao Yanlin was naturally the same.
A cold gaze swept towards Gu Ruan Ruan, and Xiao Yanlin's voice was like ice: "If you let me see you showing such eyes to her again, don't ask for these eyes." ”
This is a naked threat!
"Why ...... You"
"Shut up!" Xiao Ruoyun scolded loudly: "I told you to shut up!" After the tea ceremony, go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment! ”
"Now......" Xiao Ruoyunsheng took a breath, he just wanted to end today's farce: "Now, give tea to the eldest sister-in-law!" ”
Gu Ruan Ruan was completely stunned.
She had never seen Xiao Ruoyun like this, and she spoke to her in such a tone!
She was unwilling to the extreme, but the two men on the scene, the two men who really had the right to speak in this Hou Mansion, had already expressed their attitudes.
What can she do to resist?
At this moment, she once again realized the difference between this place and the world she once lived in.
She had no doubt that what Xiao Yanlin said just now was true, if she dared to be disrespectful to Gu Baiyu again, Xiao Yanlin would really gouge out her eyes!
Even now, Xiao Yanlin's gaze has not taken his eyes off her for a moment.
That kind of gaze was like a thousand catties, staring at her so that her hands were shaking, she held back her tears and bit her lower lip, knelt on the ground, and handed the tea forward with trembling hands: "Please Mrs. Tea." ”
Until this moment, Gu Baiyu's lips finally curved, revealing a little smile.
Slender Jade Finger took the teacup and took a symbolic sip.
"Well, let's go down. According to the rules, tea must be served every day, but I am reluctant to take care of my aunt's tea, and I don't want to drink this reluctant tea, so in the future, unless I ask for it, I won't use it in the morning. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yanlin.
Xiao Yanlin's gaze softened instantly, and his eyes were no longer stern just now, but gentle.
"Well, whatever Madame says, is what it is."
Xiao Ruoyun looked at all this and felt the gap between the two sisters.
If Gu Baiyu used to be a dignified and gentle lady, then now that she has married into the Hou Mansion and has the favor of her brother, she is even more dignified and self-controlled, and there is no lack of majesty, and she is generous in her words and deeds.
On the other hand, Gu Ruan Ruan was like a clown jumping off the beam from beginning to end.
Gu Ruan Ruan's tea was very muddled.
Xiao Yanlin's intimidation, Gu Baiyu's majesty, Xiao Ruoyun's rebuke, and the undisguised strange eyes of the subordinates......
Her dignity was trampled on to the extreme, making her walk out in a trance like a walking corpse.
However, before he could get out of the main hall, he was stopped by the old housekeeper.
"Aunt Gu is late for tea today, and she doesn't accept it to the master mother between words and deeds, please go with the old slave to receive the punishment."
